PREPARATION
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your transceiver from any of three
sources:
Internal batteries (not supplied)
Vehicle battery power (using an optional DC cig-
arette lighter power cord)
Standard AC power (using an optional DC
power supply)
Note:
Connecting a DC power cord automatically
disconnects internal batteries.
Using Internal Batteries
You can power your transceiver with nine AA batter-
ies. For the longest operation and best performance,
we recommend alkaline batteries (such as Cat. No.
23-552). Or, you can use rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23-125).
Follow these steps to install or replace batteries.
1. If the transceiver is on, turn
VOLUME/OFF
coun-
terclockwise until it clicks to turn it off.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover by slid-
ing it in the direction of the arrow.
3. Remove any old batteries from the compart-
ment.
Cautions
:
Always dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly.
